No, this not the title of an Aesop fable. It’s the pictoral adventure of one young girl who loves science! We didn’t catch the specimens ourselves :o), but ordered a dissection kit from Home Science Tools which included a frog, an earthworm and a grasshopper. Thinking it would be a good idea to do a ‘dry’ dissection, we worked on the owl pellet kit as well. Very interesting! And owl swallows its prey whole and regurgitates a pellet containing all of the bones.

Here are a few pics of the dissections Janelle has worked on so far:

taking a look at the owl pellet…

separating out the bones…

and the grasshopper…

(Jordyn suggested that we not show close up pictures because ‘it might make people sick’).
